In 2010, Birdies for Breast Cancer partnered with Jersey City Medical Center to create the region’s foremost comprehensive center specializing in women’s health issues. The Cristie Kerr Women’s Health Center makes breast cancer screening, diagnostic testing and treatment programs available to all women regardless of their ability to pay. The center has performed over 100,000 procedures since opening in 2010.
“Cristie Kerr has made a difference in the lives of all women throughout Hudson County, NJ. The Cristie Kerr Women’s Health Center at Jersey City Medical Center is now able to provide state-of-the-art diagnostic breast imaging, including ultrasound, stereotactic and MRI targeted biopsy. Cristie’s passion and energy inspire us every day. Through her efforts, and that of the Birdies for Breast Cancer Foundation and its generous supporters, we now look forward to expanding our vision and our services for breast cancer surveillance, diagnosis, and treatment.” – Julie DiGioia, MD – Medical Director, Cristie Kerr Women’s Health Center (Courtesy of: Golf Digest – December, 2012)
